While trying to fix yet another charset problem in my perl rssfetch script, i decided to give python a go, because i wanted to try Mark Pilgrim's feedparser. Although I knew zero about python, with help of Google and uza's great python book i was able to rewrite the program in a very short time. The new script is much shorter, more readable, has less bugs and more features. So I think I like python and I will try to rewrite my other perl scripts in python.
Download py-rssfetch-0.1 and review my first python script :-)

Imho, the best way to learn python is by Mark Pilgrims dive into python. It is not only a good python tutorial but also the best technical book I know.
